I love the idea and most of the storyline but I am having trouble with a few areas of the book. First Portia takes all these life-breaking news with almost a shrug of her shoulders. This is the girl that swoons day and night over Vance, shouldn't she be a bit more upset on becoming a witch! Overall I like the book and am currently in the middle of the next installment but I would like a bit more dramatic AHHH's and a bit less dramatic awww's in the story if you know what I mean. 3.5 to 4 out of 5 stars, would recommend with caution.

This was a very interesting and exciting start to a series that promises to be filled with plenty of magic and mayhem.
I really enjoyed getting to know the characters; especially, Vance. He is just so gorgeous, and even though he looked the Bay Boy part with his motorcycle and leather jacket, he proved that chivalry is most certainly not dead. His relationship with Portia was sweet, and the fact that his moral compass pointed in the right direction only made me like him so much more.
I was a little surprised that there wasn&rsquo;t more conflict when it came to their relationship. What I mean by this, is that even with the knowledge that Vance was in hiding from his evil father, Portia&rsquo;s family accepted their relationship without any worries. I would have expected them to flip out a bit more, especially with how quickly they transitioned from complete strangers to being in love. And Portia&rsquo;s father acted so casual when he found out about their binding ceremony.
Of course, Vance and Portia had plenty of other conflict plaguing their relationship, but the final moments in this story only affirmed how strong their love for each other was, and I knew they could get through just about anything; even a near demon conversion.
Weatherford has created amazing characters with plenty of heart and emotion. I cannot wait to read the rest of this series.

This series is so good I want everyone to experience it; you'll read it in record timing because you want to put it down, and leave you wanting more. You'll be captivated by Portia and Vance. It a must read!!

Overall, I have to say I very much enjoyed the book. It&rsquo;s a powerful tale that draws you in and gets you emotionally invested, then pulls the rug out from under you with the exciting climax without leaving you completely devastated. It was a pretty awesome book, and I look forward to the next one!

This was really a fun read for me. It was geared toward young adults, but I really enjoyed the story. I really liked the two main characters, and I could feel for them when bad things started happening. My main expectation for a book is that it entertains me and makes me want to keep reading. This book met that expectation.
